textbook information, but on the skills and competencies required for safe and
successful performance as a healthcare practitioner.
Nevertheless, the following resources may be useful in reviewing information
required for the examination and for organizing the material for study purposes.
The references provided here may or may not represent the current editions. In
addition, do not limit your study to the resources provided here. Although the
references listed below present useful information, there are a number of
additional or alternative sources that are also suitable for study.
The list, therefore, should be considered illustrative rather than exhaustive.
